    "content": "who later transferred its ownership to a white settler company known as Almo Company which brought numerous white settlers into the land; THAT, after Independence, the post-colonial Government of Kenya took control of the land, registered it as L.R. No. 8036 and placed it under the now defunct Livestock Marketing Division for rearing of steers and other breeds of cattle after which they were ferried by train through Nakuru to the Kenya Meat Commission at Athi River on the outskirts of Nairobi; THAT, majority of the displaced members of the Samburu Community were compelled to live in Parkare Arpa area of Kirimun Sublocation of Sosian Ward in Laikipia North Constituency and settled along the Ewaso Nyiro River by the white settlers in a bid to prevent them from accessing the occupied lands, while other communities settled around Kirimun water springs; THAT, some members of Kirimun community were engaged by the Livestock Marketing Division as casual labourers and herders and condemned to live as squatters in a land that historically belonged to them, and which is currently being used by the National Youth Service for low-scale livestock farming; THAT, despite the injustice meted out on them, the Kirimun Community has grown exponentially to over 3,000 residents whose children are served by three schools, and this growth has led to scarcity of land, water and other key livelihood resources for members of the community; THAT, the Government of Kenya recently issued a notice ordering the bonafide residents to vacate their ancestral land, thereby creating unwarranted tension in the area which poses the risk of disrupting learning and is a sure recipe for chaos and conflict;"
